This is time of the year when families begin to decorate homes with Christmas magic choosing ways to fill their home with celebration. Many prefer traditional Christmas tree set up at home, others might enjoy creating something different with their own hands. There are a few examples that truly inspired my creativity.

"A
child who has become master of his acts through long and repeated
exercises, and who has been encouraged by the pleasant and
interesting activities in which he has been engaged, is a child
filled with health and joy and remarkable for his calmness and
discipline." Maria Montessori

We introduced this practical life activity in our Preschool Montessori classroom in the beginning of the year when children were getting to now each other. It served purpose of encouraging children to communicate and interact in a positive way.
